The Jerusalem municipality on Wednesday revived plans to build 500 new homes in an east Jerusalem (East Al Quds) settlement neighborhood, an NGO said, a first since the US presidential election.

"This morning, the local planning and building committee made the decision to advance (plans)... for 500 units in Ramat Shlomo," the Ir Amim anti-settlement NGO said, referring to an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Israeli-occupied east Jerusalem, according to AFP.
